Uppada has written its name in history with great pride since the days when Shaivism was very popular in India.

Even today, it is customary to invite the sons of the heroes and hold Veera Natyam in their homes for auspicious occasions.

Once upon a time, the Shiva temple, which had been worshipped and had been ruined, stood in the lap of Kadali for many years, entertaining the devotees, as if in silence!

The temple on the seashore of Uppada, which we see today in the form of Bhramarambika Malleswara Swamy, the consort of Sati, was developed by the famous Sannidhi royal family over five hundred years.

Jaggaraju wrote a Kuravanji (street play) called "Chogadi Kalapam" (probably the story of Bhaktakannappa) with an account of Shiva, which gave Uppada a place in Andhra Telugu literature.

Literary scholars say that the great poet Srinath took a bath in the sea in Uppada in the early years of the 15th century.

Literary texts indicate that he stayed in Draksharamam with the company of the rulers of Bendapudi and visited the holy places before writing Bhima Khanda.

It is said that the Uppada Sea immediately erupted like a tsunami and drowned the Delhi Padusha armies, which is why sand dunes are still visible around the Bashir Bhibhi Temple.

When the daughter of the Bobbili kings married the Pithapuram king, the descendants of Rao settled in the surrounding areas of Uppada Kothapalli and built temples in many villages like Uppada Kothapalli and Gorsa and continued as trustees and became saints.

It is noteworthy that Uppada village, which has great historical importance, has occasionally revealed its traces amidst the waves of centuries.
